"Hello Tim, I don't really think you might care, read, or consider what I have to say, but I as a mexican customer for 15 years just wanted to say I found disappointing the way Apple censored Parler and Gab.

If this is not censorship, it looks an awful lot like it because the timing is just awful, and we mexicans have experienced a lot of censorship for many years to know censorship when we see it.

I have seen way worse content prevalent in Facebook or Twitter that, since it's not in english, it stays there almost forever, if it gets removed or sanctioned at all. About three weeks ago I reported a guy selling illegal psychotropics in Instagram, the guy is still there. I have been harassed countless times in Facebook, even with death threats and violence threats… The harassers and the threat publications are still there. Someone even stole my identity in facebook and caused me to get tons of harassment phone calls and messages… that guy's profile is still there.

Yet I am supposed to believe Parler and Gab are a threat that must be dealt with right now?

I dedicated 10 years of my life to non-profits that construct decent and lasting homes to people in extreme poverty here, that work with law enforcements and neighbors to reduce crime, specially against the elderly and poor, that bring education in technology to students that wouldn't get a good education any other way else. Never got any penny for that, nor ever wanted to… When you censor these apps, you should know you are also censoring me."
